Rocky Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Walked through Whorefield on my way home and saw a shop selling white v-kneck t-shirts with Jesus on the cross wearing a ROVERS shirt. Their jealousy knows no bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their jealousy knows no bounds. I'm damn sure the Gas also used to sing "Drink Up Thy Zider" years ago. That was a song written especially for us as Adge Cutler was a staunch Bristol City FC supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Goblin, you do like to imbelish....Adge Cutler, Nailsea's finest, did not write 'drink up thy cider' for bcfc...its about getting pi$$ed in a field in Somerset.

Don't you realise that a large section of our support has got pissed up in a Zummerzet field at one time or another on finest Zummerzet zider ???!!! Adge Cutler also changed the lyrics for 'Morning Glory' to 'One for the Bristol City'. Behold a new Adge Cutler...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Adge Cutler also changed the lyrics for 'Morning Glory' to 'One for the Bristol City'. I think you will find that this was a post-Adge Cutler song. Recorded by the Wurzels and also adapted by them for us around 76/77. Adge died in '74 I believe.

Source: http://bootsalesounds.blogspot.com/2009/03...er-wurzels.html Sorry Dear, not convinced. Yes, 'Morning Glory' was changed by somebody else to 'OFTBC'...unless he also has the gift of re-writing songs from beyond he grave. Were he really a supporter, I would have thought he might have written about BCFC..After all, he wrote about everything else in Bristol/Somerset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Virtute Et Industrial (Adge Cutler) An Adge Cutler-penned song recorded on the first album. The song takes its title from the motto of the City of Bristol - Virtute Et Industrial; virtue and industry. These refer to the main emblems that are associated with Bristol, the Unicorn and the Ship, both of which feature on the city's coat of arms and which can be seen all over the city. The Wurzels subsequently re-recorded this song for their A Taste of the West album, although sadly mis-spelling the title as Virtuet Industrial. However, as 'virtuet' can be translated from the Finnish as 'river', that could give the motto as 'industrialised river' - which is probably more accurate than the real motto! This song is one of four which The Wurzels recorded which mention Bristol City football club in the lyrics. The song was also recorded in 1973 by Fred Wedlock. (Gas gets a mention in this one too though - If the City don't win Saturday P'raps the Rovers will.. ) Heres the lyrics.. Virtute et Indusrial Oh, we be Bristol kiddies We comes from Bristol City Where all the blokes is handsome And all the birds is pretty Weem proud of our 'ome town It never gets we down and we got a little motto What we sing up Bedminster Down Virtute et Industrial Three cheers for Novers Hill If the City don't win Saturday P'raps the Rovers will Virtute et Industrial Shout it to thee neighbour Virtute et Industrial An' see thee down the Labour Praise the City Fathers 'Cos they know what they'n doin' Don't listen to they moaners Who says weem going' to ruin They talks of Portbury But I aint kiddin' thee Who wants docks When all the locks On the lavatories be free? Virtute et Industrial Long live all the brewers Build more pubs and bettin' shops Don't waste the cash on sewers Virtute et Industrial Lets have another drink Virtute et Industrial An' never mind the stink Oh we be livin' well Bad times is in the distance We lives it up like hell On National Assistance It tain't that we do shirk To do a bit of work But if you coulst live without it Well, who'd be such a berk Virtute et Industrial We be such sober people Bristol's like a gert big church With a thousand foot glass steeple Virtute et Industrial No drunks is ever seen (hic) Virtute et Industrial Well, thees know what I mean Let progress be our watch word Hooray for all the planners They keeps the traffic flowing And never minds the tanners From Lulsgate thees could tear To Paris, now by air But the buses down Old Market Is enough to make thee swear Virtute et Industrial Cardiff's now much nearer They'n gonna print the Evening Post In Welsh to make things queerer Virtute et Industrial Sing "Nostra Yakki Da" Virtute et Industrial What fink of 'ee Oh Ah With one way streets and flyovers We knows which way ween facing Has you seen our brand new bridge Down at Cumberland Basin? The cars go by like thunder Up and round and under Just where they goes No bugger knows And t'aint no bleedin' wonder Virtute et Industrial Our town will last for ever If we can't build the Concorde We'll buy 'n on the never Virtute et Industrial Who got ten million quid Virtute et Industrial well, ther thee bist then kid The best of British luck To the Mayor and Corporation They just come back from France A credit to the Nation Now, mind you keep it dark But they reckon the old Town Clerk Bought back they Follies Bergeres In exchange for Ashton Park Virtute et Industrial Up the Downs on Sundays We spent the rent on Saturdays Down Nelson Street on Mondays Virtute et Industrial May Bristol never fail Virtute et Industrial Till weem all out Arno's Vale Ahh, they dont write 'em like that anymore -I'm pretty sure Adge was a City fan (always thought of him as a Red anyway). ...
